Taylor Swift stuck it to her haters (well, hater)

She may have made history at the 2016 Grammys by becoming the first woman to win Album of the Year twice, but Taylor Swift wanted to use her acceptance speech for more than just thanking her fans. Speaking to "the young women out there", the popstress gave a perfectly judged lesson in getting the upper hand. Less than a week after Kanye West Famous dig at Taylor, in which he suggested her fame was down to him crashing her moment at the 2009 MTV Awards, she took to the podium to give a thinly veiled diss of the Swift variety. “There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success, or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame,” she said. “But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you’re going, you’ll look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world.” Preach Tay Tay.
